Subject:
SGP/SONDE/C1 - Bad RH Data
DataStreams:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
The RH values below 6 km are incorrect.  The problem relates to a failure of the GC25 
ground check set used before this particular sounding.  The failure seems to have affected 
the sensor calibration with the effect that one of the two sensors was reading artificially 
high.  Because the internal processing software uses the highest of the two sensor 
readings, the bad sensor value is chosen whenever it is not heated.
Measurements:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1:
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)
  • Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh)

Subject:
SGP/SONDE/C1 - Increased precision for alt, dp, pres, rh, tdry
DataStreams:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
The output precision of the following variables was increased 20060928

alt  changed from 1m to 0.1m
dp   changed from 0.1degC to 0.01degC
pres changed from 0.1 hPa to 0.01 hPa
RH   changed from 1%RH to 0.01%RH
tdry changed from .1degC to 0.01degC

Note that the increase in precision does not necessarily imply an increase in accuracy.  
Users are cautioned to continue to use their best scientific judgement when using these or 
any other data.
Measurements:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1:
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)
  • Dry bulb temperature(tdry)
  • Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh)
  • Retrieved pressure profile(pres)
  • Dummy altitude for Zeb(alt)
